This work is develop from previous work. The project is inspired by Giocomo Puccini’s opera ”Turandot”, and the design concept is to express a grogeous but cold-blood China princess. The design is combining modern estern clothes with traditional Peking opera’s elements, and using high quality fabrics such as 100%wool, 100% silk organza to create delicate and luxurious look.
The emobroidery patterns are Peking opera’s facial mask, which in this project represent many dead suitor’s head haning on the wall of Beijin’s Forbidden city by princess Turandot. Using fur as an important design element is to represent the princess’s love with Mogolia’s prince Calaf, and also gives the majestic feeling or all looks.
